Oh gawd. This is just going to give all her supporters false hope. What they really need is a good swift kick in the pants to wake up to the truth that she's the reason Baby Huey is in office right now.

I don't dismiss Russian and FBI interference as non-issues like some on the left do, but fundamentally if you lose an election to an out-and-out fascist, you fucked up. Fascists don't win because they have better ideas, they win because those who are suppose to represent the basic principles of democracy, liberal democracy or social democracy, have fucked it up badly enough. Anyone defending Clinton or, worse, sees her as some kind of future redeemer is oblivious to this core truth. Obama owns this problem, too. If you're succeeded by a fascist, you failed. Whatever charm he might possess, his time in office led to a goddamned fascist, so let's stop pining for a guy who was either oblivious or too weak to prevent the conditions that led to this.

Why the hell is the left not emphasizing law enforcement's support for sanctuary cities? You'd think they'd lean on that hard to get support from moderates and even people on the right (who are generally really pro-law enforcement).

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Are you talking left or liberal?

I guess probably liberals.

They're still figuring out how to properly triangulate their position so as to alienate the greatest number of people possible.
